LN'VENTOR.

BY fm arch of the foot and the remainder of the 'foot in front, and at the rear of the arch,

including the great toe, `the outer fleshy portion of the foot serving only asa cushion, and preventing jarring of the Wearers body.

In the use' of a shoe constructed in accordance With my invention, there is, as pre viously explained, no opportunity for friction between the foot and the sole of the shoe hence, perspiration of the foot, due to frictional engagement With the shoe is avoided, and bad odors resulting from perspiration are consequently elimin-ated.

Furthermore, the avoidance of riction`ob-- viates Wear upon hosiery, which occurs-con- `equally adaptable to boots, and therefore,

While the invention' is claimed'as relating to a shoe, it 'is to be understood that protection therefore extends to boots.

I claim:

l. A shoe having an arch built integrally therein at itsouter side directly above the arch of the main sole. l

2. A shoe having an arch built integrally therein at its outer side, said arch tapering toward the inner side of the shoe.

3. A shoe having .an internal arch at its outerside directly above the arch built integrally thereinof the main sole, said internal arch extending :forwardly and rearwardly above the arch of the main sole and being tapered toward the inner sideof the shoe.

4.' A shoe-having an internal arch built integrally therein at its outer side directly above the arch of the main sole, said internal arch extending longitudinally of the shoe and also being inclined toward the inner side of the shoe, and a stay at the outer side of said internal arch.

ln testimony that l claim the foregoing l hereunto aiix in signature.
